Résister au fascisme: construire la souveraineté alimentaire à partir de l’unité des peuples
Summary
The statement by Friends of the Earth International links the fight against fascism with the pursuit of food sovereignty. It criticizes the industrial agribusiness model as a failure that employs 'post-truth' narratives to maintain control, specifically citing 'climate-smart agriculture' as a flawed alternative that ignores agroecology. The text advocates for an anti-capitalist and anti-patriarchal approach, highlighting Cuba's success with peasant-to-peasant knowledge and agroecology. It concludes by calling for the creation of an international anti-fascist front and the strengthening of people's convergence to transform global food systems.
Key insights
- The industrial agribusiness model is described as a failure with global social, economic, environmental, and nutritional impacts, utilizing 'post-truth'—the deliberate distortion of reality—to maintain control over the global agri-food system.
- The document criticizes the FAO's 2018 report on food security for promoting 'climate-smart agriculture' as an alternative that excludes people from the countryside and fails to mention agroecology, despite recognizing the link between climate and food crises.
- Cuba is presented as a successful example of reinventing food production through public policy, investment, and 'peasant-to-peasant' methodology, proving that agroecology can feed the masses and provide a dignified rural life.
- To counter fascism and the influence of dominant media, the text calls for the creation of an international anti-fascist front and the development of technological sovereignty and digital security.
